I studied video game design. The one thing I knew for sure about myself is I didn't want to study acting.
I used to be very scared of silence because I felt it was my responsibility to keep people occupied. That definitely spawns from an insecurity in myself. When people aren't enjoying themselves, when I'm involved, it somehow comes back to it being my fault. But I do want people to have a good time.
I'm a people person. That's my bread and butter.
If you want to be an actor or actress out of high school or college, just know what you're getting in for. It's a job. If you look at it like a job, and you make it a career and a profession, then you're bound to do well.
I'm just immensely proud of my brother for tackling both the big job of doing 'Riverdale,' which is a lot of hours and has had, like, a lot of success, and also at the same time not losing sight of his passions like photography, which he's very good at.
My brother and I always intended to get back into acting. We just wanted to take a break because, I think, coming off of the seven-year run of 'The Suite Life,' we wanted to detach ourselves from that idea a little bit.
A role I would not do: cool jock. That's not something I'd be interested in doing.
It's easy to stereotype twins into any role. There's not a lot of great twin roles written, and oftentimes, when there are, they're given to a single actor who green screens themselves into both places.
We went to public schools from kindergarten through seventh grade, and it was fun.
I love acting as a passion. It's something that is really fulfilling to me. But the core of it, which is one of its most difficult aspects, is that it's commission-based.
If Cole and I are together, we're noticeable. Fan encounters come with the job, and you can't shy away from them.
When you are born into a body that takes the image of another, you ask yourself a question much like the famous 'chicken and egg' conundrum. Do you take the form of he, or does he take the form of you?
Scripts that make characters a two-sentence description, I'm not interested in.
